Luscious Linguine

I found this in a magazine about 25 years ago. It sounded awful, but I thought I would try it. I loved it and my then picky teenage daughter actually tried it and loved it and asked me to make it numerous times. Often make it with chicken breast on the side. I have made this for my meat and potato SO and he even likes it. I was shocked! I am adding it here for everyone to enjoy, and for posterity. :)
